	abstract = {The Boreal Plains (BP) of Western Canada has been exposed to increasing disturbance by wildfire and hosts a mixture of upland-wetland-pond complexes with substantial quantities of trembling aspen (<i>Populus tremuloides</i>\&nbsp;Michx.) throughout the terrestrial areas. The ability of these tree species to regenerate within both upland and wetland areas of the BP following wildfire is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of fire on nutrient dynamics in soil and water in peatlands and forested landscapes in the BP, and relate this to aspen regeneration. Nutrient concentrations, nutrient supply rates, and net nutrient mineralization rates were determined in burned and unburned sections of a peatland and forest, and compared to the regeneration of aspen. NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>\&nbsp;and P varied spatially throughout the landscape, and differences were observed between peatland and upland areas. In general, differences in nutrient dynamics were not observed between burned and unburned areas, with the exception of P. Nutrient and growth data suggest that aspen do not require nutrient-rich conditions for regeneration and instead relied on forest litter to satisfy nutrient demands. While the peatlands contained high nutrients, aspen did not flourish in the combination of anoxic and aerobic organic-rich soils present in this area. While aspen may use peat water and nutrients through their rooting zones, peatlands are unsuitable for aspen re-establishment in the long-term. However, the combination of abundant nutrients in surface mineral soils in peat margins may indicate the vulnerability of margins to upland transformations in later successional stages.},

	abstract = {Mine reclamation requires the reconstruction of entire landforms and drainage systems. The hydrological regime of reclaimed landscapes will be a manifestation of the processes operating within the individual landforms that comprise it. Hydrology is the most important process regulating wetland function and development, via strong controls on chemical and biotic processes. Accordingly, this research addresses the growing and immediate need to understand the hydrological processes that operate within reconstructed landscapes following resource extraction. In this study, the function of a constructed fen watershed (the Nikanotee Fen watershed) is evaluated for the first two years following construction (2013{\textendash}2014) and is assessed and discussed within the context of the construction-level design. The system design was capable of sustaining wet conditions within the Nikanotee Fen during the snow-free period in 2013 and 2014, with persistent ponded water in some areas. Evapotranspiration dominated the water fluxes from the system. These losses were partially offset by groundwater discharge from the upland aquifer, which demonstrated strong hydrologic connectivity with the fen in spite of most construction materials having lower than targeted saturated hydraulic conductivities. However, the variable surface infiltration rates and thick placement of a soil-capping layer constrained recharge to the upland aquifer, which remained below designed water contents in much of the upland. These findings indicate that it is possible to engineer the landscape to accommodate the hydrological functions of a fen peatland following surface oil sands extraction. Future research priorities should include understanding the storage and release of water within coarse-grained reclaimed landforms as well as evaluating the relative importance of external water sources and internal water conservation mechanisms for the viability of fen ecosystems over the longer-term.},

	abstract = {An understanding of the main controls on carbon accumulation in naturally saline peatlands can be useful for furthering peatland reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region where salinization complicates construction of sustainable peatland ecosystems. As such, the long-term apparent rate of carbon accumulation (LARCA) within a naturally saline fen situated near Fort McMurray, Alberta was studied using two peat cores. Changes in LARCA in less saline part of the fen coincide with water table fluctuations and seem not to be affected by low salinity (soil EC \&lt;5 mS cm<sup>-1</sup>). The highest LARCA values were associated with wet conditions; however, prolonged inundations coupled with high salinity (soil EC \&gt;10 mS cm<sup>-1</sup>) appear to have had a negative effect on LARCA. In the more saline part, salinity seem to have a notable effect on LARCA {\textendash} hydrology links. Mean LARCA of the site (19.7\&nbsp;g<sup>-2</sup>\&nbsp;yr.<sup>-1</sup>) is lower than in western continental fens. The northern less saline part of the fen (soil EC \&lt;5 mS cm<sup>-1</sup>) has LARCA of 29.67\&nbsp;g<sup>-2</sup>\&nbsp;yr.<sup>-1</sup>\&nbsp;that is close to LARCA in continental fens, but LARCA in the southern part (soil EC \&gt;10 mS cm<sup>-1</sup>) is considerably lower (9.79\&nbsp;g<sup>-2</sup>\&nbsp;yr.<sup>-1</sup>).},

	abstract = {Saline wetlands represent potential natural analogs for reclaimed wetlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR). Thus, an understanding of the drivers of salinity changes in natural wetlands can provide insight into how reconstructed peatlands in the AOSR may evolve given that they are constructed with saline oil sands reclamation materials. Here, we investigate the nature of salinity changes from the analysis of sediment cores at three ponds situated within a saline peat-forming wetland near Fort McMurray (Alberta). Past changes in salinity were reconstructed using weighted-averaging transfer functions based on diatoms and an environmental dataset from 32 saline boreal ponds. Results reveal complex {\textquotedblleft}precipitation{\textemdash}surface water{\textemdash}groundwater{\textquotedblright} interactions associated with differences in the hydrologic functioning of the studied ponds, and their connectivity with shallow groundwater aquifers and adjacent wetlands. Relationships between cumulative departure from mean precipitation and DI-salinity suggest that precipitation may control salinity both directly and indirectly. In ponds recharged predominantly by meteoric water, precipitation may govern salinity directly by dilution of salt content in water, so that rises in precipitation result in a salinity decline. In ponds situated within a saline groundwater discharge zone, salinity may be influenced by precipitation indirectly through recharge of the saline aquifer, so increases in precipitation lead to rises in salinity. Our study suggests that complex salinity response to precipitation change, coupled with notable range of salinity fluctuation within natural saline fens should be considered while designing saline constructed wetlands and predicting their potential resilience under climate change.},
